Founded in 2000, Club Storm of Tampa allows girls from ages
9 to 18 to play affordable Club Volleyball in Tampa, Florida.
After starting with only one team in 2000, the club program
has grown to nine teams in the 2007-2008 season. This season
we are expanding to include new teams of younger-age girls.
The program is designed to give girls an opportunity to develop
skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. We also emphasize the teaching
of life-skills that will transcend into a higher self confidence
and self esteem.
Players will plan to play in AAU and USAV volleyball
tournaments throughout Florida. In general, the teams are broken
up according to age group (for example: 14 and under, 16 and under,
etc.). However, certain exceptional athletes will be asked to
play on a higher-competitive team. If this occurs, the player
can expect stronger competition at tournaments and a longer season,
which is beneficial for the athlete. Practices are held at the
Bob Sierra Family YMCA on Northdale Avenue off of Dale Mabry,
and at the YMCA Youth and Family Center off of Mapledale behind
Gaither High School. Generally, teams will practice 2-3 times
per week for 1 ½ or 2 hours. Tryouts
are held in October and November and the season lasts from December
until April or May.
Our mission at Club Storm
of Tampa is to provide the most affordable, high quality Club
Volleyball experience in the Tampa Bay area. In keeping with that
mission, we have set our 2008-2009 fee schedule at the lowest
rate possible, making it more affordable than other local clubs.
We are a non-profit Volleyball Club; hence we are always looking
for sponsors and donations to help pay for scholarships, equipment,
etc.
